The monthly settlement and mortgage insights report from PEXA has revealed May 2022 as a record month for refinancing home loans.

Catherine Mapusua, head of lending at digital lending and payments provider WLTH, explains refinancing is set to rise in the next coming months with further increases on the horizon off the back of RBA cash rate rises.
